The Colonel: My Animus/Mr. Self Destruct

The Colonel: My Animus/Mr. Self Destruct

I don't have much to write here, except to say that when I was listening to "Mr. Self Destruct" by Nine Inch Nails just now, I got very excited and thought "That's him! That's the Colonel in my dreams! These are what he has sung to me my entire life!" Part of me still yearns for him to take me utterly.

So, with that, here are the lyrics to "Mr. Self Destruct."

I am the voice inside your head
and I control you
I am the lover in your bed
and I control you
I am the sex that you provide
and I control you
I am the hate you try to hide
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
I speak religion's message clear
and I control you
I am denial guilt and fear
and I control you
I am the prayers of the naive
and I control you
I am the lie that you believe
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
I am the needle in your vein
and I control you
I am the high you can't sustain
and I control you
I am the pusher I'm a whore
and I control you
I am the need you have for more
and I control you
I am the bullet in the gun
and I control you
I am the truth from which you run
and I control you
I am the silencing machine
and I control you
I am the end of all your dreams
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct

to lilith10 : Then it's all about choice; pick the one that will lead you to the path of light. Why torture yourself any longer? We all have a finite time upon this Earth. Be happy while you're here.

to Sinatra877 : That's the problem. I'm talking to myself here! Of course I control how much control someone imposes on me, but when that someone happens to be another part of my self, it gets a little tricky!

Control is an illusion. The most we can do is influence...just so happens that some techniques are more influential than others.

On the contrary. You are in control of how much control anyone may impose upon you.

Bad ass lyrics. It's a great song. A little on the controlling side but so is life with being pulled in every direction except the one you want to go in. The little details in life are what controls us. And we let them.

On a slightly unrelated note, when I got married in 1998, "This Corrosion" (full version) by Sisters of Mercy was the bridal march; and NIN's "Ringfinger" for the signing of the registry... :grinning:

I ought to have had a divorce party... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
